I’m surprised at how few times I’ve been summonsed. Once in Miami when I was maybe 20 and made it to voir dire but was dismissed. Once in Santa Clara, CA but never got to voir dire, and twice in Raleigh, NC but when I called the night before was told I wasn’t needed. So I’ve basically only ever even been interviewed once. I’m 47. I’ll probably have a summons waiting for me in the mail tomorrow.

I've been called for jury duty almost every year since I was 20 (I'm in my late 20s now). It's a frustrating waste of time considering how much lawyers hate engineers being on the jury.

Also 47, sounds similar

- 2 times had to call but wasn't needed

- once, sat in a room waiting but then we were all dismissed

- this year, 2 day jury selection; I ended up in seat #2 on the 2nd day for about 4 hours before being dismissed
